Man convinces people to buy 'Hot Dog Water' for $28 a bottle

During an arts and culture festival in Vancouver last week, a street vendor thought it would be funny to advertise bottles of 'Hot Dog Water' for $38 Canadian dollars ($28 US dollars) as part of a satirical demonstration to "encourage critical thinking related to product marketing."

At the end of the day, he had just two bottles left.

According to the satirical sign at the stand, Hot Dog Water is "keto compatible," and will help those who drink it "lose weight, increase brain function, look younger, [and] increase vitality."

The vendor, Douglas Bevans, told Global News that dozens of people actually purchased bottles of hot dog water from him, and had no idea the whole thing was fake.

"They've been drinking it for hours," he said during the festival. "We have gone through about 60 liters of real hot dog water."
